Diet And Dental Health...San Marcos Dental Arts Can Help
Diets
low in certain nutrients reduce resistance to oral and dental
infections, that is, periodontal disease (gum disease) and decay.
Dr. Banks feels a
healthy immune system is essential to controlling periodontal disease.
Counseling in the Four Basic Food Groups will improve dental health and
general health. The consumption of sugar, especially in sticky forms or
in a baby bottle while sleeping, contributes to the rapid development of
dental decay.
Together, a balanced diet, effective brushing,
and sensible eating habits can reduce the risk of, or even prevent,
infectious dental disease.
Please don't hesitate to call San Marcos Dental Arts at (760) 744-3693
if you need more information on diet and its relationship to
dental health.
